Release and Waiver of Liability:

I understand a ride-along involves riding in a police vehicle being operated by a police officer who is performing both routine and emergency police functions. I acknowledge that riding in a police vehicle can be a potentially dangerous activity, as it may be necessary to operate the vehicle outside of the normal rules of the road. I further acknowledge that I may be exposed to dangerous and/or hazardous situations inherent in police work whereI may be at risk for serious, or even fatal injury. I understand that police officers cannot avoid all dangers or disregard their duties which involve such dangers or hazards simply because I am accompanying them. Knowing the risks involved, I hereby assume any and all risks of injury, death, or property damage arising out of or in any way connected with my participation in the ride-along. I, the undersigned, in consideration of being allowed to participate in the ride-along, do for myself, my heirs, next of kin, family, guardians, executors, administrators and assigns, forever waive, release, and discharge Lindon City and its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers from and against any and all claims, damages, or liabilities arising out of or in any way connected with my participation in the ride-along.
